The upgrade was a success! Please let me know in Site Discussion if anything has gone awry!

Those numbers disgust me though any smart DM can work around that by limiting the fighter's ability to get close up. Course I'm not one to dissapoimt my players and I'd still throw some mooks at the fighter to make him feel awesome.

My character, who used a large fullblade (he was a human with a resizing blade and a magic item that gave him monkey grip) got around it by getting a weapon storage enchantment put on his gloves so he didn't need a sheath, he just snapped his fingers and BAM! huge sword. Combined with some backup weapons, he was quite effective. Granted, he was a cleric/prestige paladin, so of course he was effective, but it's pretty much an ideal way to handle things if you have the cash. (my character managed to get a hold of the entire party's big loot reward, so he had the wealth of an ECL16 at ECL 10. And again, paladin, so it was on accident)

With feats, flaws, and traits, I've built a level 1 Goliath (ECL 2) who wields a Colossal sized weapon for 8d8 + 10STR bonus + Power Attack, + Cleave. Very few creatures can survive my minimal damage at that point, and cleave goes off almost every hit.
